An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Civil Design Engineer to join a leading, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy based in London. The consultancy has a strong reputation for technical excellence and a collaborative approach, with an established project pipeline across sectors including residential, commercial, distribution and technology, including data centres. This is a great opportunity for a Civil Engineer looking to develop their technical experience within a supportive consultancy environment, working on a varied range of development infrastructure projects across the UK.

  • Supporting projects through planning, detailed design and construction
  • Developing your technical knowledge and working towards professional qualifications

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
